Although it has been over 10 years since I owned this bra, it is still readily available so I will share my thoughts on it. I stopped wearing these bras prior to joining BTB so cannot provide pics or measurements. Before discovering BTB and especially UK bras, my world revolved around Elila and Goddess. So so glad I discovered this place and the wealth of information here.

This beige Elila 1305 bra, was the one of about 5 that I wore of various colors from 2005 to 2012. It was a non wired soft cup with a foam insert inside the cup.

What I liked most about the bra was the padded color coordinated shoulder straps, something I wish all bras had. The comfort from the shoulder strap cushions was very helpful and they also kept the straps in place.

What I liked least was the lack of support I experienced. The sturdy materials, the stiff straps, shoulder pads and foam insert helped a lot but are not up to the task compared to a good quality underwire. I also dis-liked the rather matronly appearance of this bra.

When I first purchased this bra, it was available up to US K cup which is equivalent to UK H cup. It was definitely too small in the cup but Elila certainly surprised me when they made the jump to the US N cup, which is equivalent to a UK JJ. I just checked the Elila home page and they now offer the 1305 in a US O cup which would make it a UK K cup. I may try one for old times sake but I suspect that this non wired will still be uncomfortable to this day.
